Yep.

[Bryman31]

and it will fit a yarsi S the 4 door right?

Ehh, TRD is great and all, but $330 for an intake? :thumbdown: Most of that cost is the warranty.

Injen makes a GREAT intake, and their CAI (if you can wait a couple months) will probably be $220 or so. Buy a bypass valve for $30 more and you're set.

[Bryman31]

hmmmm.....injen is nice.........i used to have it on my cavalier, but can i wait is the problem...im a very impatient person lol


:burnrubber:

[HanSel]

ehh..id wait a lil while to save $100 or so..
i have a buddy that works at aem.. that make some pretty good intakes..ill ask about the progress on those..(he works in R&D)

there will be intake companies pouring in for sure..one of the most common mods anyone can make.

[Chris07LB]

Give it some time.. All the major intake guys are testing & building now for the Yaris... Once they all get released, the prices are sure to come down a bit, and be competitive. :smile:

[HanSel]

very true..
i hope its competitive so prices will be under control.

[soros151]

Actually thats about the price some of the CAIs go. I say, wait for the Injen one.Patience is the key.

[mikeukrainetz]

license to print money....

[bulldogs2k]

I would wait for the injen or aem. I currently have a injen intake on my S2000 and i bought it for 80 dollars :) bought it from a guy on a s2000 forum.

[soros151]

^^ props on that

[HanSel]

aem short rams can be had for like $75 if i remember correctly.
yea just drive the car stock for a while and wait for the market to develop. youll have a greater selection and better prices then.

Ehh, TRD is great and all, but $330 for an intake? :thumbdown: Most of that cost is the warranty.If the extra cost keeps my warranty intact, then I'll pay it.

[TRD_Yaris]

If the extra cost keeps my warranty intact, then I'll pay it.

or just switch your stock intake back before you take it in to the dealership. I know the computers datalog, but fuk em.

[Chris07LB]

If the extra cost keeps my warranty intact, then I'll pay it.

And thats exactly why they know they can price 'em that high! :rolleyes:

Just a quick note (specifically for you, Ron)- it is illegal for any manufacturer to void a vehicle's entire warranty for one part. If you were to go to a dealership with an aftermarket intake on the vehicle and you had a problem which should be covered under warranty, Toyota would have to prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that your air intake is what caused that specific problem. Manufacturers can only void warranties on parts that are specifically damaged by the modification in question.

Now, another note for you guys looking to do header and exhaust mods to your Yarii- if you go to the dealership with, say, a bad O2 sensor or any other emission control part (which is actually, under federal law, covered until 8 years/80K miles) and you have an aftermarket header or exhaust, the chances are nil that the O2 sensor will be covered. Toyota (or any other manufacturer) will argue to the death that those two mods caused the premature failure of the sensor.

Hey, I'll be buying the TRD intake. I don't mind shelling out a few (OK, a hundred or more) extra bucks to show Toyota that I love the fact that they give a shit about their aftermarket-thirsty clientel. The suspension they have is amazing... I have no reason to believe the intake or whatever else they come out with will be any less. If the TRD gods are reading this, can we have a supercharger please? Pretty please?

I already posted all the Magnason Moss Act info, but knowone seemed to care...

Im not afraid to mod all my cars/trucks. :thumbup:

AEM has the patent on the air bypass could this Trd be aem?:eek:

[Chris07LB]

Wouldn't be too surprised.. it happends a LOT in the industry.

Take for example the new FRAM Boost intakes... they are renamed, recolored AEM products, made for FRAM. Even the instructions are the same, with the AEM logo's blacked out. FRAM just uses their filter, and rebrands the entire intake as their own.

So if they are paying AEM for the intakes to rebadge, Im guessing Toyota could/would do the same thing.

I'll send you guys some pics of our Stainless CAI. If interested we can get them to you guys relatively at cost with shipping.
